that is OD early. i felt like an idiot going after school on friday. but this guy trumps anyone. at least that apple store is outside, my local apple store is in the mall so i guess everyone will be waiting outside for it to open then running up the escalators to see who gets on the line first lol. i hope the lines aren't that bad, i don't plan on waiting in line past 7pm.
Ummm this is the iOS 5 version. iOS 5 just isn't out yet. And it will be at least 3 years before you see 256GB of storage in an iPad....
it's good for traffic / post counts ... which is how the ranking/size of BBS/forums is determined.
it's a business move by MR, pure and simple.
and i don't disagree with that decision, I just hope that the "mods" realize this and don't start banning people left and right when this turns into a hate-fest (i hope it does because at least that is mildly entertaining ... moreso than the original article.)
He has ONE just ONE Friend on Facebook and 22 Follower on Twitter, that's sad...
I understand how page hits can equate $. And still, I stand by my "we're better than this" comment.
Including this one article on Page 2 would have virtually zero effect on MR's bottom line.
That is the ugliest Apple Store I have ever seen.
Nice rock planter. And geez, you think they could turn the water on the grass for a few minutes a day??
What a friggin' dump.
He probably put a tent there cause the place looked abandoned.
It will be interesting to see when most people get in line. I'm guessing about 8am on the 11th. Any other guesses?
Actually, that's precisely why they start selling them at 5PM. The line forms inside the mall, but outside the store, generating interest. They may also have a deal with the mall to let them stay open a bit later than normal to accomodate the people in line.

no.. what is sad is that you think because he only has one friend on "Facebook" means he only has 1 friend in life. It is also sad that you think having 22 followers is sad. So if you have 100 followers does that make you cool or something?
iOS 5 version? So's my iPod 3. iPad 2 is not the right name for it. It's iPad 1.5 at best - there isn't enough improvement over the original to call it 2.0. That's my point.

well, I'm no expert - but I think one friend in Facebook and 22 Twitter followers is very sad when it comes to self proclaimed "internet celebrities", as this guy claims to be...
And specially after the whole attention he got when he pulled the same stunt when the iPhone 4 was launched.
Very sad indeed.
... but thats just me.
